Principal Investigator(s):
Columbia Broadcasting System

Summary:

This data collection contains information on 1,366 college
students and non-college youths between 17 and 23. This study was
conducted in 1969 by Daniel Yankelovich, Inc., for the Columbia
Broadcasting System (CBS). The results were broadcast May 20, 27, and
June 3, 1969, in three sections: "Question of Values," "A Profile of
Dissent," and "The Youth International." A study of the generation
gap, this survey contains questions on the types of social change and
societal restraints the respondents would welcome or reject. In
addition, respondents were asked about their views of their parents'
values as well as their own, and which political events had affected
their life and values. Other questions covered abortion, sexual
relations, civil disobedience, criticism of American society, drugs,
career goals, the draft, and tactics to be used in social
change. Demographic data include education, marital status,
occupation, income, and religious preference for both respondents and
their parents. The data were obtained from the Social Science Data
Center at the University of Connecticut.
